Chase’s Story

Site created on January 18, 2021

On Wednesday,  January 13th, we received the heart crushing news that Chase had been diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. His journey to recovery is expected to last for about 2 - 2.5 years. Chase can to put a smile on anyone’s face that he ever comes across, and he has the most beautiful soul. My sister Julie, Chase’s mother, will be leaving her teaching job indefinitely so that she can be his full time care giver. With the loss of her income, and with current and future medical bills, we want to do as much as possible to help them financially. We would appreciate your support of donations, and prayers. The Sultzbach family is one that pours their heart into everything and everyone, never turning down anyone hurting or in need. It is our turn to give back to them tenfold. Chase’s fight is our fight, and he has a massive army behind him. Prayers out to Chase, his father Zach, his mother Julie, and his little sister Alexa.

Journal entry by Jen Smack

We are finally home after a long 9 hour day in clinic. Chase's labs and ultrasound came back clear, so they have ruled out pancreatitis.  He was sick a few more times throughout the day, but was able to keep down a little bit of food and gatorade at the very end of the day, which was their deciding factor on whether we got to go home or be admitted. They were on the fence about sending us home, but finally did with the instruction to bring him to the ER if he continues to be sick. He is too far out from his last dose of chemo for this to be a side effect, so it has got to be something else.. They are torn on what it could be, but we are praying that whatever it is will just pass o. It's own and after a few days of rest, he will be feeling much better. Thank you for all your prayers! Please keep them coming. 🧡💛
